Episode 64: Detroit Versus Everybody (Michelin Edition)

Go green, go white, go get a Michelin star — apparently Detroit's in the running for all three. Justin flies solo this week to welcome Jay Davis, Crain's Detroit man on the restaurant beat, for a deep dive into the biggest food news the city's had in years: Michelin is doing a Midwest guide, and Detroit's hosting the very first Great Lakes reveal dinner next April at Michigan Central. Jay sets his over/under at three and a half stars and breaks down what a Michelin star actually can do to a restaurant's wait list.

On the topic of what drives traffic to a restaurant, the pair discuss how AI is now deciding where people eat dinner — a weak online presence means ChatGPT might be overlooking you.

Jay also covers sprots, so Justin picks his brain ahead of last Saturday's MSU v. Notre Dame football game, a Pistons contract negotiation, and more.
